Microsoft Edges closer to forcing users to use just one browser. Theirs.
Too Long; Didn't Read
As a fledgling web developer back at the turn of the century, I worked at a major telecoms company in London. The machine I used in the year 2001 was an 800 Mhz Pentium, running Windows 95, and the browser war back then was between Internet Explorer, and Netscape Navigator. Even then the browser of choice for web developers, and many casual users, was Netscape. For me the reason was that the first web browser I had ever used was X-Mosaic on a Sun SPARCstation, and given that Marc Andreessen had then moved on from Mosaic to Netscape, I had a certain degree of customer loyalty. More importantly, Netscape just…worked better. For me, and for many others, Netscape beat IE into a distant second.
